CINCINNATI -- Joey Votto, circling the bases at right, hit a two-out grand slam in the ninth inning for his third home run of the game, rallying Cincinnati to a rain-delayed victory Sunday.

Votto hit solo homers in his first two at-bats and finished a big day with four hits and six RBIs.

The slam came against struggling closer Henry Rodriguez, who had trouble with his control on the wet mound. Rodriguez walked two batters to load the bases, then left a 2-2 pitch up and over the plate to Votto. The 2010 NL MVP hadn't homered since April 30 and had only two this season coming into the game.
